The Patriots and Rams got off to a slow start in Super Bowl LIII.

New England scored the only points of the first half, taking a 3-0 lead into halftime, and it took until halfway through the fourth quarter before either team entered the red zone.

The dismal offensive performance put the Rams and Patriots on pace to make a rather unsavory list.

With the Patriots leaving with a 13-3 win, Super Bowl LIII is officially the lowest-scoring title game in NFL history.
